This model is A+++ rated for energy efficiency, the highest grade possible. Built-in sensors contribute to these savings, particularly the KG detector which adjusts a cycle where possible to save on time, water and electricity. There are 17 programmes to choose from, including a pre-wash for cottons. Items as delicate as baby garments, outerwear, wool, silk and even curtains are handled by specific cycles. EcoMix mode saves further energy by operating at just 20 degrees, with the three rapid programmes taking just 14, 30 and 44 minutes respectively. Further options are available through the electronic display, with an easy iron function and variable temperature and spin speed. The settings are simple to use and effective.
